Murder OF Baxter Last spring.
Since the time of the finding of Bax-

Dell saith An Jafl In Indiana for the
Marder Of Baxter Last spring.
Since the time of the finding of Bax-
ter's body in the Cottonwood last
spring numerous persons named Smith
and several parties with other names
have been watched and arrested sup
posed to be the murderer. Something
has however been proven by said parties
acquitting them from the serious
charge. Sheriff white has been un-
firing in his search and from tele-
gram received Monday it looks as
if his work on this question was nearly
ended. It will be remembered that a
man named Dell Smith disappeared
from Kansas City about the time Bax-
ter left and it has been ascertained to
an almost certainty that he leIt in COM
pany with the murdered man.
During the correspondence White
learned where Smiths home was be-
fore moving to Kansas City, and wrote
the officers that he was wanted and
what for. The officers answered the
correspondence by saying that Smith
had ceased to write to his old home since
last spring, naming time correspond
ing to the time Baxter left Kansas City
These circumstances and many others
point very conclusively towards Smith
as the guilty man.
The telegram received Monday
states that Dell Smith returned to his
old home a few days ago and was ar
rested and lodged in jail to await TIT
arrival Of the sheriff who started
| Monday noon for his man.

Rev FIT. lnga,ls Resigns

After the morning services at the
First Congregational church Sum
day morning the congregation was
asked to remain in their seats a few
minutes. during which time the pastor,
Rev. F. I. Ingalls,, took occasion to
tender his resignation to take effect
January /, at the same time stating
that he had accepted the presidency of
the Drury college at Springfield, Mo.
In referring to the severing of his
pastoral relations with his parish
toner's, and to the ties of love and
tenderness which had grown up during
the time in which he had been located
here, Mr.. Ingalls, feelings were SO
overcome that he was unable TO pro-
coed with his remarks, and at thier con-
clusion tears were streaming down the
cheeks of nearly every one in the
church. The occasion was a very
touching one, and made plainly mani
fest the great esteem in which the
beloved pastor is held by his congre-
CATION, as well as the great love and
regard he has for his charge.
